Front

An object is projected horizontally from a cliff. How does the time it takes to hit the ground compare to an object that is just dropped?

Back

The same amount of time as if it was just dropped.

Front

Define projectile motion.

Back

Projectile motion is the motion of an object thrown into the air with an initial velocity, subject to the force of gravity.

Front

What are the two components of projectile motion?

Back

Horizontal and vertical components.

Front

What is the effect of air resistance on projectile motion?

Back

Air resistance slows down the projectile and alters its trajectory.
